Yes, I've heard of Karl May- my dad is a big fan of Westerns. That's why I said "mainly" and not "exclusively." We Americans are the main intended audience for Western-themed RPGs...any others who enjoy them is pure gravy.
As for other games' non-English sales, other than a couple of the BIG ones- D&D, RIFTS, GURPS, Shadowrun- what I've seen abroad have mainly been home-grown games that haven't been translated into English!
On a related note, it seems that Rackham is taking a new slant on their Confrontation minis fantasy combat game, producing a new game with the Confrontation rules as the underpinning for their new RPG...kinda like the close link between Battletech and MechWarrior.
